The "Mir haters" must understand that Wayland isn't a display server. No DE will adopt Wayland as his display server. The DEs teams will build a display server that will implement Wayland protocol.

that only speaks in favour of wayland. getting rid of one layer and getting more with the roots gives one more power. sadly, as far as DE go, as much as i don't like to admit it, but with recent atrocities in gnome usability and KDE not being ready for wayland prime... ubuntu with unity holds advantage. still, there is 0 chance for me to opt for Mir or Unity though.

as much as i'm hyped about wayland, i also get downright sad when i think i'll be reverting to 90s era where my desktop looked like museum of various looking toolkits. right now selection is really bad. most gtk apps were completely destroyed by gnome HIG down to being complete crap (gedit, epiphany...) and last months all i'm doing is searching for sane replacements in order to be ready for wayland

they used code from Wayland and Compiz even the SDL Mir code is using Wayland paths

You don't know much about anything, do you?

Wayland is a protocol, you can't use code from Wayland as Wayland isn't code!
Compiz is a X.org specific software with a very high use of X.org specific APIs
using Compiz without X.org is inpossible. Also Mir have nothing to do with how
windows look and behave wich is the only thing Compiz cares about.
